Overview
Anhui wastewater treatment plant serves Fuyang, Anhui, China, with a population equivalent of 160,000. It operates under China's national wastewater discharge standards.
The Anhui wastewater treatment plant is located in Fuyang, Anhui Province, China, serving a population equivalent of 160,000. The facility is situated in Linquan County, part of the larger Fuyang metropolitan area, and plays a key role in managing municipal wastewater for this rapidly urbanizing region. As a plant serving a medium-to-large agglomeration, it is expected to meet China's Discharge Standard of Pollutants for Municipal Wastewater Treatment Plants (GB 18918-2002), which mandates secondary treatment with nutrient removal for plants of this scale. The regulatory framework also requires compliance with local environmental protection bureau permits, ensuring effluent quality protects receiving waters. The plant's treated effluent likely discharges into the Guohe River or a tributary, which flows into the Huaihe River basin. The Huaihe River is a major waterway in eastern China, ultimately draining into the Yellow Sea. The region faces challenges from agricultural runoff and industrial pollution, making effective wastewater treatment critical for downstream water quality and aquatic ecosystem health.
Environmental context
The plant's discharge enters the Huaihe River basin, a densely populated and agriculturally intensive region in eastern China. The Huaihe River flows eastward into Hongze Lake and then to the Yellow Sea. Effective treatment is essential to mitigate eutrophication risks and protect downstream fisheries and drinking water sources.
